Reparations

Allowing people to steal from citizens and stores openly without consequences.
1: did. You see those 10 scholars who walked out of foot locker with more than 50 pair of jordans again?

2: Give them a break, they deserve reparations.

Reparations

The two or three dollars you can inevitably lose because your order got colossally fucked up at McDonald's or Popeye's.
Fuck me, those dumbasses forgot the extra chicken nuggets and gave me the wrong size fries. And this is a fucking Diet Coke!
It's fine. It's not worth going back to chase them down and correct the order. The lost money is just reparations.

Reparations

What America owes Black American families for using them to build this country as unpaid labor while being beaten, raped and killed. Similar to the reparations given to Jews and the Japanese after WWII.
It’s pretty jacked up that as soon as freed slaves worked all that land so they could grow crops, President Johnson took their reparations back.

Reparations

Oxygen for l.e.m type people, blm'ers, as well others who have nothing better to do during their 2 day bkackout than loot and riot
If you are neither a white l.e.m nor a blm'er yet still think reparations are your thing, then be proud that even in your sober state you're worse than a drunk elephant 🐘. You need a shrink asap.

Reparations Severance

A financial package, like a golden parachute, added to BIPOC employment contracts that include diversity titles or JEDI responsibility. The severance package accounts for the emotional labor and emotional tax accrued during the job and protects against the statistically likely premature dismissal due to organizational flightiness, shifting of priorities, or gaslighting of the candidate.
I negotiated reparations severance into my employment contract because it was a Chief Diversity Officer role, and they like to fire us after they get their Linkedin photo-op.
